New DNC ad: Mobs of right-wing lunatics want to feast on your flesh

posted at 12:15 pm on August 5, 2009 by Allahpundit

A video version of yesterday’s communique from DNC headquarters about mobs of right-wing extremists whose extreme mobbiness threatens to mob ObamaCare with extremism. All that’s missing are the captions you used to see in trailers for 50s horror movies. “THRILL to angry conservatives walking around with signs. TREMBLE as a woman holding an American flag yells at a congressman. SCREAM as Democrats absorb one one-millionth the degree of demonization George Bush suffered over eight years.”

No need for outrage, though. Instead, celebrate the fact that even with a Democratic president, a filibuster-proof Congress, and the lure of “free” ice cream in the form of socialized medicine, the left’s somehow managed to turn ObamaCare into a clusterfark of such epic proportions that their health-care message has now actually been reduced to “Don’t listen to the Republicans — they’re crazy.” Apart from Josh Marshall characteristically wetting himself by describing the townhall backlash as “civic vigilanteism” (sic), my favorite reaction comes from Tapper, framing the astounding demagoguery you’re about to see with the understatement only a studiously dispassionate newsman can muster:

While offensive and even racist posters and protestors have shown up at too many of these town halls, it’s not clear that they represent the mainstream of those who have organized to exercise their First Amendment right to speak any more so than the liberal protestors who compared President Bush to a Nazi represented mainstream liberal thought, or even the mainstream of anti-war protestors at any given event.

Indeed it’s not clear, especially with 52 percent of respondents telling Quinnipiac that The One’s handled health care badly. But enough blather. After you watch the DNC’s 50s horror movie, be sure to watch the B-picture the boss posted last night about what extremist mobs really look like. Exit question: Which right-wing nut warned yesterday that left-wing extremists might want to dial it down a bit themselves? Answer here.

Blowback

Well, we wingnuts have to be flesh-eating zombies, because we’d starve as brain-eating zombies trying to feast on libs. I’m still waiting for 343 to show up. Must not be awake yet.

First of all I want to thank you all for coming. Luckily those rubes in the left don’t know that the insurance companies are actually helping Obama write the health care plan and lobbying to get it passed while hiring us all to keep it from getting passed

The undeniable and pathetic fact is that the LEFT are the true aggressors. Those of us on the right are angry, and have every right to be. Of course we can’t be blinded by anger, but it is certainly an impetus to act.

We get mad, while the lefties actually attack people, places, and things that are counter to their “counter culture.”

It is a fact that most mobs storming these town halls are right wing nuts.

And you keep using terms like infiltrating and storming. I do not think you have the mental capacity to understand the concept of a town hall meeting. It is an OPEN meeting that ANYONE can attend. As opposed to say forcing your way into campaign offices to shut them down or blocking traffic on highways…

Yep, They can’t even get their story straight on this. they’re saying it’s mad mob rabble, then Boxer says they’re too well dressed to be legit. Whatever. It’s just ridiculous, and I hope they keep insulting their constituents.

Interesting how they use a Birther repeatedly in this ad when most of the very well-dressed people in these “mobs” are protesting the porkulus plan and this healthcare boondoggle. Nothing like obscuring the facts to get your message across.

What a foolish question…Senator Boxer has given you the answer…they are too well dressed. Their shirts are clean, they have taken baths, they are educated, they apparently have jobs, so they can’t be liberals…they have to be a “mob”.

Agreed. I am thankful when I attended college that the situation was nowhere near where it is today. In the late 70′s and early 80′s, there were no wars to protest, and the college kids didn’t care about the Iranian hostage crisis.

liberal343 is GetALife under a new handle. She has no life and no new tricks. Her president (her president) is a complete O2-211 in progress and she knows it. He is an abject failure in everything he’s done except sucking as the CinC.

The comment above about teh left and the way they treat the military and recruiting stations is spot on. When we rise to putrid level of those un-American thugs you might find a sympathetic ear here.

BTW GAL, how’s the pace-maker holding up? You think obama’s health care system is going to replace that wonderful piece of modern medical science for someone who’s already lived a nice long life?

And so when a Birther shows up at a town hall led by a Republican, Rep. Castle, that person is a far-right nut job. Yet when Health Care Reform protestors show up a town hall led by a Democrat, they are far-right nut jobs too? By the DNC’s logic shouldn’t protestors for sensible health care who show up at a Dem’s town halls be far-left citizen activists?

Very funny stuff. But, don’t forget that this Stalin wannabe in the White House represents a threat that this nation has never seen before. It is serious and it is deadly. He has been trying to kill our nation since the minute he slimed into office, but he has now declared war on the population. This is mortal danger, incarnate.

He will lie, cheat, steal, intimidate, threaten … anything he can to kill this nation. I don’t know how much more he has to do before everyone with a brain realizes what the situation really is. This is a war being waged on the US.
